Why did people on Sup Forums stop talking about the biggest exploit of the decade?

Because it's already patched on all major operating systems. For a long-term solution, we will need to switch to RISC-V, but it's still way too early for that to be viable
Isaiah Thomas
Because it got patched at the sftware level, quite quickly.
Ayden Nguyen
when will jewtel fix it in hardware (not microcode)?
Joshua Adams
the software patches make the cpu perform like it's a generation older than it is
Lincoln Miller
Yes, so you may need to get faster hardware if it was at its limit before.
But plebs as well as Sup Forums mostly sport over-dimensioned hardware, so it's probably not even a big issue.
Xavier Ortiz
Interesting unsubstantiated claim.
Aiden Taylor
Dunno, my systems didn't get hit THAT hard.
But as said, the solution is changing the hardware into a fully free system.
Isaiah Butler
It's all because Intel tried to boost perfomance by creating insecure chips in the process. It's a symptom of our retarded addiction to marginal performance benefits. Now don't get me wrong. I like having good system performance and enjoy the fact that CPUs and systems have gotten as fast as they have, but there comes a point where we really need to take a step back and choose security over performance. Make that sacrifice. Had we been doing this, we would have had secure microkernel OSes become viable, but because faggots are all like "muh IPC overhead!!", we didn't get that future. Had we been doing this, these CPU vulnerabilities wouldn't have happened in the first place
Brandon Young
That's not meltdown?
Isaac Murphy
My i7 3770K on Windows 7 isn't patched.
Ian Price
good thing the performance difference between generations is < 1%

It does nothing on the Intel Lake CPU's?
Sebastian Taylor
because nobody actually gives a fuck until it breaks facebook which is the stupidest website on the innernet.
Henry James
Who made this gay little emblem for spectre?
What a piece of trash
Benjamin Peterson
Intel/AMD used a covert shitposting campaign to minimize the fallout on sites such as this one.
Samuel Carter
no it isn't patched and information is intentionally obfuscated because intel fucked up, on purpose
Connor Morales

RYZENFALL
CHIMERA
MASTERKEY
James Gutierrez
Because 95% of people are too brainlet to understand what spectre is.
Jeremiah Evans
>all of these need admin/root access
Cooper White
kek
Benjamin Rivera
yes, but they aren't too brainlet to understand that intel sold them DEFECTIVE cpus. how are the class actions going?
Noah Baker
What kind of poeople discovered this? What sort of training/school work do they get? This sort of thing is really interesting to me.
Tyler Watson
>biggest exploit
>not a single incidence of it having been used
>questionable if it's even practical to exploit outside of laboratory conditions
?
Asher Price
Because there's nothing we can do about it short of using software patches that slow everything down. It's a tradeoff we have to deal with unless we start over on the hardware.
Jaxon Fisher
It's very true and very noticeable particularly if you perform heavy computations that make use of out of order execution.
Jacob Cox
>It's all because Intel tried to boost perfomance by creating insecure chips in the process.
Source: your ass.
There is no performance benefit to make it like it was, it was just design decision.
Leo Taylor
Joshua Wright
My OS is the current version, but my BIOS is from 2011, am I vulnerable?
Angel Lopez
>if you let the hacker use your computer he'll be able to do bad shit
wooooooooooooooooooow
Charles Watson
>Unironically using Windows 7.
Jason Jones
>if you put malware in your computer it fills with malware
WOW, ITS A FUCKING SHOA.
Adrian Jenkins
Sup Forums is an Intel controlled board. Anything Intel doesn't like will get slided.
Hunter Ross
because I rather get my data stolen than slowing down my memepad I paid $2000.
Liam Fisher
kek
Levi Reed
if you could actually read a shit before you shitpost u would know the performance drop is ~3% and getting better as kernel devs improve the patch
